Projecte Fonts

Objectives:
The aim of the Projecte Fonts (Springs project) is to find out the state of Catalonia’s springs, by performing physicochemical analysis of their water and the identification of the bryophyte communities that are established in those springs. We have recently started a long-term monitoring scheme for some of the already sampled springs to assess temporal patterns in spring biodiversity
